Some more detail is being completed now with the high track idler and the recessing of the drive gear to take the new bolts.
The motor mounts should be complete in a week or so, then the long awaited motor test.

It looks very good, and durable as well!

Looking good titandigs, when you finish it and then if you want to make it into kit to sell, I would buy one off you?

regards From Cameron.

The dozer may well be made into a kit or pre assembled but it would depend on the level of interest. Having said that there is a long way to go before completion of these three units and a lot of testing (fun).

So work has started on the motor mounts, squaring up and proper alignment will follow.

I'd be interested to see this become a kit as well. That ripper is huge! I didn't think it was that big. That's impressive. Of course a 1:1 scale D11 is a monster too, so it's not that much of a surprise to see it takes two hands to hold the ripper.

What kind of motors are those? 12 volt?

Yes it is getting bigger it's not until you see the material to be machined you get a better idea of the size.
I will re weigh the machine soon to find out where is at for weight and put it up on a Wedico float to put the size of it into prospective.
The motors came from a friend in Germany.
They are a worm drive unit and are 12 volt, from memory they do about 21 rpm and stall at about 7 amps so they should be strong enough to do what we want without breaking the drive line inside with to much power.
Testing will tell.
Paul

Sounds interesting Paul. 7 amps is pretty low current draw, but with two motors, I guess you're up to 14 amps, stall current. That's still not bad.

I dug out the spec sheet and found that my memory must be fading, the motors max current is 9amps and do 60RPM, a little better than I remembered.

Paul,

Quick Q: Are you planning on powering the motors with ESC's?

I think it will be interesting to see how the Wedico float copes... I haven't seen one in person to get a feeling for how strong they are... but I have a feeling this model will push the limits of most 1.14 floats...

Cheers,
Andrew P.

Hi Andrew,
The speed controller I will be using is a Servonaut M220 for tracked models.
I think to be honest the Wedico float will die a crushing death but will put it on to have a look anyway. One of the guys here in Perth has an RC4WD trailer and I think they are rated to about 80kg
